What happens when the number one Beatles songs of all time are played note perfect by Canada’s most sought after session musicians? What happens when you add five lead vocalists capable of representing the intricate vocals of the Beatles with incredible accuracy and tonal similarity? What happens when you add an orchestra to perform the strings and brass the way you heard on the records? (Not pre-recorded back tracks, the real thing!) What happens when you punctuate the live performance show with brilliant and spell-binding clips on screen?

The answer to all those questions becomes the show ONES – Beatles #1 Hits.

ONES is a commitment to note perfect performance of the number one Beatles songs from the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 to their break up in 1970. The cast of top musicians have paid attention to every detail, including 28 guitars and period correct amplifiers and drums that were used on the original Beatles recordings. ONES also tells some amazing multi-media stories behind those songs in brilliant short narrations by Toronto Radio Legend, Al Joynes.

ONES is the specific collection of songs that are truly the soundtrack of one of the most exciting decades in music! ONES producer Frank Zirone reflects, “I am a lifetime fan of the Beatles and I wanted to perform a show that pays the ultimate homage to my favorite band of all time. The responses from every audience have been breathtaking, and now with a history of four years of sold out shows in Ontario, we are opening the doors to Canada and North America where it will be my extreme honor to present ONES, the 2-hour must see show for every Beatles fan.”

“The most exciting Beatles show!” _CASHBOX

“What struck me first and foremost about ONES performance is that there was no feeling of compromise in this production. No feeling that something had been swept under the musical or the creative rug, it felt as though every nuance on and off stage had that special attention to quality that you see in only the best shows. I could not get over the audience reaction to this show. The energy was undeniable.” _MAY KANG (freelance music writer)
